BREAKING: Archbold Grady in Cairo has just announced the launch of its new Withdrawal Management Service, an urgent initiative designed for adults battling prolonged substance and alcohol abuse. This voluntary inpatient program aims to provide critical medical assistance for individuals seeking to safely withdraw from substances including alcohol, opiates, and benzodiazepines.
Program Director David Griner emphasizes the importance of a supportive environment: “Our goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment by offering 24-hour medical care, medications to minimize withdrawal symptoms, and private rooms for patients.” The program is set to help individuals reclaim their lives from the grip of addiction, an issue that profoundly affects personal and professional well-being.
During the medically supervised withdrawal process, patients can expect to stay in the program for an average of 3 to 5 days. This intensive care setting ensures constant medical supervision and immediate access to treatment for any complications that may arise during withdrawal. “When you’ve used drugs or alcohol habitually for a long time, your body can begin to rely on it to feel normal,” warns Community Education Director Wendy Beatty. She highlights the potential severity of withdrawal symptoms, which depend on various factors including the type of substance, physical health, and age.
The program is accessible to adults aged 18 and older, including pregnant and postpartum mothers, and it accepts various insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid. This comprehensive support structure is designed not only to manage withdrawal but also to set patients on a path to recovery.
Individuals interested in the program can be referred by primary care providers or can self-refer by calling the admissions team at 229-516-3494, available 24/7. All patients must be willing and capable of giving consent before entering the program.
